Tips on connections RSW All Comms Tool

Hi Guys,

Everytime I just the RSW All Comms tool its a hit hit and miss if it actually connects. I always have to mess around with it etc and now what used to work doesnt work anymore,

is there a particular way people are connecting their rsw comms tools to their RR ??

I usually (it used to work)

plug in USB
start all comms software (and do nothing else not even agree the terms)
start engine
plug into obd

but it doesnt actually say "linked" at bottom of the sceen which it should. any help would be apprieciated. getting the rubbish susp inactive message.

thank you

Try plugging it all together then starting the software as the last step. You don't need to start the engine either - just put the ignition on.

This is Storey's recent advice on connecting up (which can be a bit different to his videos)

Quote:
Start laptop.
Plug in USB cable (Does Windows Chime)
Start All Comms software.
Start vehicle.
Plug in OBDII cable.


Works everytime for me Smile 

Have "RSW All Comms" in Hampshire - happy to help Smile

haha Joe, that was what he sent me, i posted it in another thread.

well i figured it out after much pondering. i have had a facelift done and due to that its had a bit of programming where if the OBD cover is not shut the LED's at the front dont come on. All this time I have had the auto lights on which I think was causing ...

i wont even try to explain whats in my head. Rolling with laughter

anyway I turned lights up. and works within a second flat, must have been causing a conflict of some sort etc. anyway mystery solved.
